Marney's Mix Up shows the pitfalls of Marney, a grey squirrel who ventures beyond his home to gather nuts in autumn. His pre-conceptions of what it means to be 'squirrel' come into play after several awkward encounters with a red squirrel from the other side of the park. Marney's Mix-Up shines a comedic light on the pre-conceived judgements we all make about 'perceived difference', often leading to misguided prejudice and allows for conversation with young chlidren about racial bias. It does this in a light-hearted and engaging way that will introduce pre-school and early years children to the idea of how we can explore and celebrate similarities and differences, without misjudging or mistreating other people.
Jane Rushmore has spent her whole life in Wales. She is married with three sons, two grandsons and two very spoilt cats. She loves to be outdoors, watching the wonderful world of nature. There is always something for Jane to enjoy, whatever the weather. She loves to imagine that animals speak to each other in the same way as people do, to inspire humorous interactions between characters in her stories. Marney's Mix-Up is Jane's first book.
